A Basic Tune Up will restore smooth riding, stopping and  gear shifts to a bike that is basically clean and free of corrosion, grit, grime, crud and dried up oil & grease. Those that aren't can be made rideable but won't perform near as well as they should until they're clean. Most need a serious cleaning that can only be acomplished by removing most of the parts from the frame, dissasemble as needed, thoroughly deep clean, lubricate & reinstall on a clean frame. This is nasty work and well worth the extra 25 bucks.

The most commonly needed new parts are cables, housings and brake shoes.
Chains stretch and wear out and often when they do the cogset teeth (gears on rear wheel) are worn out too. If your chain skips under load this is probably the case.

Mildly warped wheels are easily straightened but badly warped, out of round or offset ones, especially with frozen spoke nipples take time, patience and special equipment to true.

The rear derailleur hangs down from the frame and it doesn't take much to throw it out of alignment enough to cause erratic shifts and rapid cog wear. Many bikes have the bottom of the derailleur bent in towards the wheel, causing the chain to not be aligned with the sprockets. It's easy to do, usually from dropping the bike on that side or contact with a root, rock, tree or curb. It's not the derailleur that's bent, it's the hanger that it's attached to. Alignment is accomplished with special equipment that aligns the hanger parallel with the wheel rim and cogs.

If the bearings in the wheels, headset, bottom bracket and/or pedals are worn out, corroded or packed with crud, it's time for an Overhaul.
